The solution to all those launching problems?
Have a look at what the Kiwi's have come up with now:

It's a good thing they didn't send out the press release a few days ago, or no one would have believed them!

Excellent - has anyone told Flanker? - it might save him on his slipway launches!!!
Anyway I wonder how it will all syand up to the sea water and how much extra weight does it add to a 5m rib?
I see its powered by:-
Two rear marinised hydraulic wheel motors powered by 13hp Honda 4 stroke in-board engine (under centre console), electronic ignition, electric start
Thats goto add extra weight - and take up stowage space.
Hmmm. Good idea I like it!!

Okay, supposing it isn't an April Fool joke....
The boat they are showing you is a pre prodution mock up.
Why?
1. Why use a cartoon to show it moving? Wouldn't you show a short video clip of the actual boat?
2. Where is the 'drive' to the rear wheels?
3. Where is the steering machanism for the front wheel?
4. Why are the 'images' computer graphics?
Whaddya think folks?
Keith (hmmmmm) Hart
